In accordance with the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, Municipal District of Greenview No. 16 has applied to Environment and Protected Areas for a new approval for the closure and capping of the Grande Cache Landfill. The operation is located at NW 1/4 of Section 04 Township 057 Range 08 West of the 6th Meridian. The proposed approval is limited to the closure and capping of the existing landfill and does not authorize continued waste disposal.

The project includes installation of a final cover system over the landfill waste using a geosynthetic cover system (ClosureTurfâ„¢), consisting of a geomembrane barrier overlain by a synthetic turf layer. The project also includes landfill gas vents, groundwater monitoring, surface runoff monitoring, grading to promote proper drainage, and associated environmental monitoring and control systems.
